America's Children - real lippy?
Radical AC:
I think there are a lot of good police officers, but the public tends not to interact with them as much. The ones that pull you over for doing five over, or a "california roll" tend to be more on the dickish side. There are also far too many police officers with an ego and a power trip.
These days when I see the police I don't feel comforted, I feel like they are out to get me if they can and 50 seconds of talking to them can ruin my life if I say the wrong thing. The other week the police showed up at my friends door and started interogating him over a comment he left on Facebook. let me say that again.... FACEBOOK. Another friend this week got a concealed weapons charge when he had a pocket knife in his... pocket while standing on the doormat of his apartment. This may just sound like I hang out with a bad crowd but I really don't. I'm just a 20 something living in an upper middle class white neighborhood.
After being involved in TWO fatal shootings that cop should have had a desk job, if not after the first one. His days of interacting with the public should have been over long before this.

People couldn't give 2 shits if it had been a boy. That's the thing that irritates me about supposed "equal rights", but that's a different rant for a different thread.
I work in law enforcement, and the bullshit these guys have to put up with just to do their jobs is intense. There's no sound on the video and no side of the story EXCEPT FROM THE GIRL. We don't know how she had been acting up to that point. What if she was refusing to do what the deputy said? What if she'd assaulted him earlier in the night?
Get both sides before you make a decision. I'm not advocating unnecessary violence and the 2 shots to the back of the head after she's on the ground are definitely fishy.
E. Spaceman:
We do actually know the other side of the story though. The person in question has stated that the girl was "real lippy" and had called them "fat pigs". Even if she had refused to do as she was instructed (which was to remove her shoes) and even if she had assaulted them before (15 year old female vs 2 trained policemen), do you think that under any circumstance at all it is even remotely ok to do as he did?
DonInKansas:
No, we have a blurb at the top of a one sided interview with the girl and nothing involving the context or a statement from the others involved.
